The Chinese Lantern Festival at Ontario Place in Toronto features
a beautiful display of hand-crafted lanterns made by artisans from the
city of Zigong, China. The silk lanterns are a family-favourite, making
the waterfront glow with bright, beautiful colours. Forty exhibits have
been designed to represent architectural wonders from each continent of
the world. The exhibits also feature animals, marine creatures and
dinosaurs. The festival impress people of all ages including young
children who will be in awe of bright colours and recognizable
landmarks. The
Lantern Festival also known as the Shang Yuan Festival is a Chinese
festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar
year in the Chinese calendar. It is not to be confused with the
Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also sometimes known as the “Lantern
Festival” in locations such as Singapore, and Malaysia.
